Über den Autor
Christian Erkenbrecher was born in Coburg, Germany in 1981. He completed his studies of English literature at the University of Bayreuth in 2008 acquiring the title of Magister Artium (M.A.). Throughout his studies the author developed a strong fascination with utopian/dystopian literature and Science Fiction. The combination of those interests with a penchant for British humor inevitably led him to Douglas Adamss most important novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Proving a deep fascination with the topics of Hitchhiker's, the author wrote this book in Bayreuth, Coburg and while hitchhiking through New Zealand in 2007-2008.
